See that page for details.²* ContestedSequel: The two remakes. The original sequels too, to a lesser extent.²* EnsembleDarkhorse: Creator/RicardoMontalban's character in the third and fourth films.²* FanonDiscontinuity: Many deny that the sequels and/or remake exist. The reboot prequel series mostly managed to avert this, with ''Dawn'' and ''War'' in particular being seen as the only films to rival the original.²* MemeticMutation:²** "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!"²** '''YOU''' '''''MANIACS!''''' '''YOU BLEW IT UP!!!'''²** "A planet where APES evolved from MEN?!"²** "That is/is not Ape Law!"²* {{Sequelitis}}: Until ''Dawn'', no sequel had nearly as warm a reception as the original (''Rise'' coming the closest), with ''Battle'' at the bottom.²* TrueArtIsAngsty: The reboot movies are far more bleaker that the originals and and have gotten the most praise.²²!!The Novel:²²* AdaptationDisplacement: The original book by Pierre Boulle.²²!!The TV Series:²²* {{Anvilicious}}: The television show. Each episode has a moral of the week, although SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.²* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It was much more successful in Britain than at home (although it took until the '90s for the series to get a network screening - in its initial run and repeats thereafter it was shown in every Creator/{{ITV}} region except STV (Scottish Television, in Central Scotland); Creator/Channel4 gave it its first UK-wide airing in the mid-90s, and both the series ''and'' the [[CompilationMovie Compilation Movies]] regularly turn up on cable TV).²* RetroactiveRecognition:²** Marc Singer played Dalton in "The Gladiators".²** Creator/JackieEarleHaley played Kraik in "The Legacy".²** James Naughton's younger brother David Naughton played Dr. Stole in "The Surgeon".²** Michael Conrad played Janor in "The Tyrant".²** Sondra Locke played Amy in "The Cure".²* SpecialEffectsFailure: ²** In "The Good Seeds", when the chimpanzee Anto grabs a chicken, the actor Geoffrey Deuel's very human forearms can be seen. ²** The blackened teeth of the actors playing apes can often be seen behind their prosthetics.²----
